1. Compare and contrast reciprocity and redistribution economic systems, and the kinds of societies that use them.

2. Explain what happened to the Moriori when the Chatham Islands were discovered. Why were the Maori from New Zealand such fierce warriors? * When the Moriori moved to the Chatham islands, they could not farm due to the cold climate and became hunter. They learned to live peacefully because their resources were so limited. * Mori from New Zealand were fierce warriors because of dense population, so they had to compete for agricultural societies.

3. What elements led to the conquest of the Incas by Pizarro? What advantages did Pizarro have that the Incas did not? If it had been the other way around, would the Incas have invaded Spain? * Sophisticated weapons

* Superior oceans going ships
* Superior political organization of European states
* Superior knowledge of human behavior
* From thousands of years of written history

3. Why do hierarchies and inequity develop in agricultural societies to a much greater extent than in hunter-gatherer societies? Explain. * When warriors conquest a new nation, land, salves, resources follow

...Plants:Their Uses For Human Life
Humans have always used plant in one capacity or another. Plants are becoming known more and more for their vital usage in many arenas, including medicinal purposes.
All that is required for growth of plant life is

In Greenland, the Arctic poppy can be found, rising up out of massive layers of ice. Mountainsides are filled with large, colorful blooms, even when packed in heavy snow. On the other end of the temperate zone, many types of cacti are found in barren deserts that may go for many years with rainfall.
USES FOR PLANTS
FOOD
The chief food plants in many countries are cereal grains. The major types of grain crops include wheat, corn, rice, oats, barley, and rye. Next are legumes, such as peas, beans, soybeans, and peanuts. For centuries, people have used the herbs and spices derived from plants as seasonings for their food. Pepper and nutmeg are two examples of seasonings derived from dried fruit, while others such as sage and rosemary come from leaves. A common baking spice, cinnamon, is found in the stem of the plant.
Wheat Nutmeg
Rosemary
Sage
LUMBER
There are various species of trees used for lumber. These include softwood and hardwood trees.
Softwood trees are generally used to construct structural lumber such as plywood, etc.
Softwood species include: Loblolly, slash, shortleaf, and longleaf pine
Hardwood trees are generally used to construct lumber,...

...growing support for sustainable agriculture (e.g. permaculture or organic agriculture).
Until the Industrial Revolution, the vast majority of the human population labored in agriculture. Pre-industrial agriculture was typically subsistence agriculture in which farmers raised most of their crops for their own consumption instead of for trade. A remarkable shift in agricultural practices has occurred over the past century in response to new technologies, and the development of world markets. This also led to technological improvements in agricultural techniques, such as the Haber-Bosch method for synthesizing ammonium nitrate which made the traditional practice of recycling nutrients with crop rotation and animal manure less necessary.
Modern agronomy, plant breeding, agrochemicals such as pesticides and fertilizers, and technological improvements have sharply increased yields from cultivation, but at the same time have caused widespread ecological damage and negative human health effects. Selective breeding and modern practices in animal husbandry have similarly increased the output of meat, but have raised concerns about animal welfare and the health effects of the antibiotics, growth hormones, and other chemicals commonly used in industrial meat production. Genetically Modified Organisms are an increasing component of agriculture today, although they are banned in several countries. Agricultural food production and water management is targeted as an...

ABSTRACT
This study was undertaken to develop a digital map of soil pH in the
agronomy area, College of Agriculture, Mindanao State University and to provide
baseline information that will be a useful land management tool. It also aims to
asses soil pH levels in the area and to determine its implications and indorse and
draw possible recommendations for efficient land management.
The map is based on the development map of the college of agriculture.
The developed digital map contains detailed ranges of soil pH and its
interpolated values and locations in the map. Samples were gathered 20 meters
away from each other. This digital map is an essential tool in farm management
and analysing soil fertility and soil nutrient availability and solubility.
The researcher endorses the pursuit of this study and asses the NPK

Title: Studies on Organics and Integrated Nutrients on Improved Soil, Productivity, Grain Quality and Storability of Aromatic Rice (Oryza sativa L.)
1. Introduction
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a staple food which supplies natural source of nutrient, fiber, protein and excellent source of niacin (Vitamin B3) consumed by over half the world population. Ninety percent of the total world production is grown in developing countries, mostly in Asia. Myanmar is an agricultural country with rice as the main staple food crop, the 7th biggest rice growing country in the world but rice yields are still lower than in many other Asian countries. In Myanmar, rice occupied an area of 8 (Mil. ha) and production of 30 (Mil. t) with average productivity of 3.72 (t/ha). The yield of crop is higher when farmers use good quality seed which provide the great profit margin. It is fact that quality seed can increase yield by 15-20%.
The quality of the rice grain is a major characteristic that determines price and demand in the market. In Myanmar consumers are now beginning to demand higher quality and better tasting rice. Paw San Hmwe might soon become famous in the international market. It is famous for its elongation characteristics (Up to three times bigger than original size after cooking), but also for its nutritional benefits, excellent in eating quality, soft texture, with very delightful fragrance and milling recovery is good. It was awarded Worlds best rice at the...

Abstract
Kesra is a mountainous region characterized by an important olive biodiversity with high oil quality but little is
known about this olive germplasm. The aim of this work is to analyze the oil quality of the most predominant
varieties ‘Chétoui’, ‘El hor’ ‘Sradki’ and ‘Ouesleti’ cultivated in this region. The most of the quality indices and
fatty acid composition showed significant variations among the studied olive cultivars. Olive oil content is high
for the four cultivars, especially for the variety ‘Sradki’ with approximately 67%. The cultivars ‘El Hor’ and
‘Sradki’ had the highest values of oleic acid (72.8% and 74.8%, respectively). While the varieties ‘Oueslati’ present...
